MOCHA BROWNIES

Steps:

• I dump the dry mix into a large mixing bowl and add the two tsps of instant espresso to the dry mix.
• In a measuring cup I put the 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup water, then add the vanilla and coffee flavoring, makes it easier for me.
• Add the egg to the dry mix and then all the rest of the wet ingredients.
• Stir by hand, as directed on the box, about 50 strokes - or until there aren't any ( or many) dry lumps.
• Scrape the bowl into a prepared baking pan. The box calls for a 13 x 9 pan, but I spray the bottom of an 8x8 square pan with cooking spray and use that.
• The package calls for a much longer baking time than I find necessary. I use my Cuisinart Toaster/ Oven/ Broiler and it takes 35 minutes at 350 degrees for it to be perfect.
